THIS Morning viewers were left stunned today by chef John Torode’s “s3xual comment” towards host Cat Deeley live on air.
The innuendo came after it was revealed his MasterChef co-star Gregg Wallace was probed over making inappropriate s3xual comments to a female staffer.

Cat Deeley made a face to the camera after John Torode’s remark
The MasterChef star was on This Morning cooking toad in the hole
During a cooking segment on ITV, regular John was making toad in the hole when he quipped: “I never thought I’d say to Cat Deeley, ‘Here’s a little sausage for you darling’.”
Cat, 47, made a face at the camera but wasn’t put off as she continued to present the live daytime show.
One furious viewer said:” Why is John Torode’s co-star the bald one getting in trouble for s3xual innuendos when he said today live on ITV with Cat Deeley.
“Make sure he is sacked as well.. women shouldn’t put up with these disgusting s3xual comments any longer… !”
The celebrity chef was on This Morning to show viewers how to make the perfect toad in the hole.
The programme has long been known for its innuendos, with previous hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield famously falling into hysterics over cheeky comments while on air.
Following their off-screen fallout, the pair were replaced by Cat and Good Morning Britain’s Ben Shephard.
Dishing up the finished toad in the hole to the presenters today, John said: “I never thought again I’d be saying to Cat Deeley, ‘Here’s a little sausage for you darling’.”
Cat tapped him on the back and brushed off the remark, saying: “Oh I like it, thank you.”
The presenter then looked up at the camera and made a face to viewers.
Earlier John made another innuendo to Ben when describing the cooking process.
“Roll them out so they’re the right shape,” said John, before Ben added: “Right, so give them a zhuzh?”
He agreed, adding: “Yes, give them a zhuzh. I never thought I’d hear Ben Shephard ‘zhuzh your sausage’.”
Cat smirked: “That’s just the beginning John Torode.”
MasterChef facts
MASTERCHEF has been a staple BBC series for years – but what are the key details?
MasterChef launched on BBC One back in 1990
It ran until 2001, then was revived in 2005 as MasterChef Goes Large
John Torode joined the revamped series in 2005, where he teamed up with Gregg Wallace as hosts
Controversial moments? In March 2018, Gregg refused to judge Zaleha Kadir Olpin’s stewed chicken rendang dish as he claimed it was ‘not crispy enough and could not be eaten.’
Ben added: “This is what Cat Deeley has done to me.”
The future of John’s MasterChef partnership was thrown into doubt this week after it emerged co-host Gregg Wallace had been probed by BBC bosses over “inappropriate s3xual comments” he allegedly made to a BBC staff member in 2018.
The BBC has recently pledged to clean up its bad behaviour.
Gregg yesterday spoke out on the allegations and admitted he made comments but denied they were s3xual.
He emphasized that he loved his wife Anne-Marie Sterpini, who he wed in 2016.
The TV star said: “With reference to what’s in the newspapers, these allegations were investigated by the BBC six years ago.
“The allegations were investigations six years ago and my comments were found to be not s3xual.
“I repeat, not s3xual. Thank you everybody for your time.
“I don’t want anybody to misunderstand this and make it look like I was flirting with somebody. Nobody accused me of that and I never have.”
